Please let me know your opinion, thank you.

I have read several but I didnt understand it especially when it gets to the point of sharing of token, amount of tokens to be raised. Even from the introduction and down to implementation the few I have read just lack coordination to me and eventually I just stop to rely on the review of others that understand how the white papers are written before replying on such project and the quality of the team out in place.

reading the whole white paper will make you understand what the explanation of the project is, how to know the quality of the team to make the project successful, from white paper we can find out the details of the mission vision project work and the whole part of the project process

Some are very confusing indeed but others are well-written & structured

I always like WPs with clear edges between overview/abstract, idea, technical, business, financial & others....this really helps you browse through the WP & jump directly to the field of interest to you...

I've now been involved with two (PTOY and VZT) and helped shape the whitepapers for the latter.

Speaking as a marketing guy, I really think that whitepapers need to be positioned as both a technical document and marketing piece. It really serves both of those purposes -- to introduce the technology, but also market it. To do the job properly, you'd ideally have both the CTO and CMO (or the equivalent position holders) compose the whitepaper. Of course, if you have a dev that understands both tech and marketing, you're even better.

But the more hands involved, the better.

At your service,

i don't have time for read whitepaper  , so i don't need whitepaper because i just look about ico in the concept they are announcing in the mainthread.

[PowerfulGuerilla]

Yes, the white paper is significant, though sometimes ICOs don't have it.
As for me, it might raise some doubts about the ICO itself, but if the ICO is regarded as reliable, why not to invest in it?

P.S. Every ICO has a share of risk in it.

A white paper is the document prepared by a party in anticipation of launching a new currency.it is everything you need to know about the currency before making your mind up.whitepaper should be simple.it should contain technology information.it should build real confidence in investors.

I think the following chapters are to be read:
- technologie / solution overview and user scenarios
- token break-down
- roadmap

I would also recommend reading how the company is positioning the product in a larger context. What business problem does it solve?

An actual true approved white paper is fine. When people put out there calling white papers are not actually accredited anyway.
But an actual white paper is something of value.

I think it's not the same as every white papers. each different ico delivers their ideas and ideas, as well as whitepapers.
before reading i try to get to know from concept they give. I just tried to examine it.

[13abyknight]

Its almost the same thing for me these days, various 'decentralized' platforms nothing more. Although a majority of the coins are like this, I like the whitepapers of unique tokens which aren't just about decentralization and work towards greater goals. What makes a whitepaper more viable is the ideology behind the whole project outlined in short and simple words for common understanding.

Inaccurate in what terms? I read whitepaper too, they have the problems and solution on why they are conducting in such event. Whitepaper is thesis like (Philippines) if you're graduating students. They make a problem and it should have the solution then they will present to our instructor. Reading those enlighten your knowledge and being aware of the environment.
 
ICO creating a whitepaper to better understand on what they are aiming at cryptocurrency.

Whitepapers are one of the most important things about a project. You could have an idea about any project after have a look, but you should definitely understand all of the points clearly if it is a well-written whitepaper. A good whitepaper mostly means a good project.

But a lot of project especially to the developers can't write a whitepaper in a good structure, Because a lot of the just contain bunch of the senseless information and they are not structuring.
There is a methodology to write a good whitepaper but a lot of them are missing it.

You are right, some of them skip to explain their projects details and points, they just fill the pages with usual copy-paste arguments.

[monkfishy]

A necessary but not sufficient condition. I'd never invest in a project that doesn't have a serious prospect, whether its called a white paper or something else.

However, that doesn't mean the existence of such a prospect implies the project is good

[jzone23]

For me, White paper seeves as business proposal for an ICO. Through whitepaper people can have an iverview of the project and can assess if it is such a good investment for a period of time ir not. In an ICO whitepaper is the first I am putting attention at.
